FL Studio Editions & Features

You can purchase FL Studio and plugins here in our Shop. To compare all FL Studio editions see this comparison page.

In terms of core program functions and features, there are only two versions of FL Studio Fruity Edition and Producer Edition. Beyond these, all other 'Editions' are collections of Producer Edition plus additional plugins (instruments, effects or tools).

When one of the following badges appears next to the page title it means the feature or plugin is exclusive to a certain FL Studio edition or may be purchased separately.

All Plugins Edition the highest level. The feature or plugin is included with FL Studio All Plugins Edition or may be purchased separately. All Plugins Edition is FL Studio Producer Edition plus all plugins included in the FL Studio installer. It's the cost effective way to get your hands on everything. If you already own some of the plugins in the Bundle, the Image-Line store will automatically deduct these from the upgrade price. The average discount is around 60% on the separate purchase pricing. This does not include all future plugins we release however. You will be able to update your bundle at a reduced cost.

Signature Bundle and up. The feature or plugin is included with FL Studio (Signature Bundle & All Plugins Edition) or may be purchased separately. Signature Bundle is FL Studio Producer Edition plus a collection of our 'signature' plugins. It's the cost effective way to get your hands on our best gear. If you already own some of the plugins in the Signature Bundle, the Image-Line store will automatically deduct these from the upgrade price.

Producer Edition and up. The feature or plugin is included with FL Studio (Producer Edition, Signature Bundle & All Plugins Edition) or may be purchased separately. Producer Edition provides the highest level of functions in FL Studio. It gives you access to all Clip types in the Playlist, Audio Recording, Automation Clips, Slicex, Edison and more!

Fruity Edition and up. The feature or plugin is included with FL Studio (Fruity Edition, Producer Edition, Signature Bundle & All Plugins Edition). NOTE: If a feature does not have a Edition tag, then it is also likely included in Fruity Edition. Fruity Edition is aimed at those people who need Piano roll and Pattern Clips in the Playlist for sequencing, but don't need more than 8 Audio Clips, Audio Recording, Slicex or Edison.

NOTES: 1. When a plugin is 'included' with Fruity, Producer Edition or Signature Bundle, this refers to the native version of the plugin. 2. Please see the feature comparison list on the FL Studio website for a detailed comparison of each Edition and Bundle. 3. You may upgrade from one edition to the next at any time (check the shop for upgrade pricing).

What's FL Studio TRIAL mode?

FL Studio TRIAL is functionally equivalent to the FL Studio All Plugins Edition. If you are using trial mode there is only one limitation - Projects can be saved but can't be opened again until FL Studio is purchased and unlocked. If you have used instruments or effects in the project not included in the edition purchased (above), then you will need to buy those plugin/s too. Projects in this state will open but the plugin/s will be replaced with place holders.

You can tell if a plugin is a trial when the Wrapper window title bar shows "(trial)" after the plugins name. All other functions in the FL Studio trial are fully unlocked. It is the equivalent of Signature Bundle plus all plugins. Remember, you can render to .wav, .mp3 .ogg or .mid files prior to saving a trial project.

SAVING PROJECTS WITH TRIAL PLUGINS: If a project is saved, and it contains instruments or effect plugins that are in trial mode, the trial plugins will be replaced by empty channels/slots next time the project is opened. Each trial plugin that is purchased and unlocked prior to opening the project will work as originally saved.

WARNING: If you open and then re-save a project that contains trial plugins, the settings for these plugins will be lost. To unlock the trial plugins visit the Image-Line store and buy them. After purchase you can continue working on these projects with the plugin settings as originally saved.
